I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 441

By the time Shi Nuan came out of the washroom, Zhou Zheng had already left. Shi Nuan tugged on her clothes and set her gaze at Fu Chengyan who was holding a cigarette in his hand but it was not lit. When he saw Shi Nuan, he immediately threw his cigarette away. “What do you want to eat?”

“Was Mr. Zhou here?”

“Yeah. He wanted me to sign a document.” Fu Chengyan turned around to behold Shi Nuan in her entirety.

He knew she was beautiful, but her beauty didn’t stem from her looks but rather from how she composed herself. It was something unique in Shi Nuan alone. Thus, Fu Chengyan could never forget about Shi Nuan even after so many years. Also, it was the reason why he never took a liking for Shen Qianan.

Shi Nuan approached her husband and twisted her torso around. “So, what do you think of my dress?” She slanted her head and grinned. “Thank god my baby bump is still quite small. Or else, I don’t think I can wear any of these shirts Mai Qi had prepared for me.

“You look amazing!” Fu Chengyan extended his arm to usher Shi Nuan into his embrace. “You don’t look fat at all. On the contrary, you are too skinny.”

“Ugh, why are we talking about this again?” Shi Nuan couldn’t help but sigh. “Alright, then I will eat more. I will eat so much that you won’t be able to hug me!”

“I don’t think that will ever happen to you. You are as light as a feather now!” Fu Chengyan scooped Shi Nuan into the air. Shi Nuan was taken aback by Fu Chengyan’s sudden action and frantically wrapped her arms around his neck. “Oh my lord, be more careful, will you?”

“Of course, I will.”

Zhou Zheng and Mai Qi saw the loving couple strode into the elevator and exchanged glances with one another. Mai Qi spoke out of envy, “I sure didn’t know that Mr. Fu could be so affectionate. Ms. Shi sure is a lucky gal!”

“She’s not Ms. Shi anymore! She’s Mrs. Fu, our boss’ wife!” Zhou Zheng corrected in a snappish manner. “Don’t ever address Mrs. Fu wrongly again! If Mr. Fu hears that from you, you are dead meat.”

“Of course I know that!” Mai Qi stuck out her tongue. “But are Mr. Fu and Ms. Sh… I mean Mrs. Fu are actually married?” Mai Qi was Fu Chengyan’s most trusted assistant at work, but it was obvious that she still didn’t know much about Fu Chengyan’s personal life.

Mai Qi knew Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan were in a healthy and loving relationship, but she didn’t know that the two of them were legally-wedded.

“Then why didn’t Mr. Fu make it known to everyone?”

“Why did he not announce his relationship to everyone?” Zhou Zheng paused for a moment. “I think he’s already made it public, at least to both sides of their families.”

“Mr. Zhou, of course, I’m talking about him announcing it to everyone, not just his family!” Mai Qi was puzzled. If Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan were actually married, then why did Shi Nuan choose to not announce the status of their relationship? If everyone knew she was the wife of Fu Chengyan, for sure her net worth would be booming.

“Bah, whatever you have in that mind of yours does not apply to Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu.” Zhou Zheng scoffed. “Don’t try to guess what they are thinking.”

If Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan’s relationship were announced, Shi Nuan would have to put up with the endless meetings and dinners with all of the important people acquainted with Fu Chengyan. Fu Chengyan would never let Shi Nuan get involved in any of those tiring social life.

“Noted.”

“Alright, get back to your work. You don’t want to finish work late, do you?”

Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan left via the elevator designated for the directors of Shengyuan. The two decided to have their dinner at a Cantonese restaurant since the dishes there were generally lighter on the palate and thus was suitable for a pregnant woman like Shi Nuan.

Ever since Shi Nuan got pregnant, her appetite had skyrocketed. At the restaurant, she almost finished everything on the table. Fu Chengyan didn’t eat much. Every now and then, he would arrange the plates on the table for Shi Nuan’s convenience, or wipe her mouth with some tissue.

Anyone could notice that the couple was getting along very well.

Shen Shixiu had nothing to do so he came to this part of town. Then, he could spot the couple from outside the restaurant. He stood there and stared at the two for a while before he turned and left the place eventually.

Fu Chengyan lifted his eyes to look at the leaving silhouette of Shen Shixiu. The shade in his eyes grew darker.

Shi Nuan, who had her head buried in the spread of food on the table, was oblivious to Shen Shixiu’s presence.

By the time Shi Nuan finished her meal, her belly was bulging. She grabbed Fu Chengyan’s hand and panted, “I don’t think I can eat anymore!”

Fu Chengyan’s smiling eyes lowered to Shi Nuan’s protruding belly which made her look like she was in the later stage of her pregnancy. “Okay, you can stop eating.” He gently stroked her belly. “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Shi Nuan nodded. “Yeah, and it’s all your fault! Why did you not help me eat some of them?”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes had an endearing glow in them. He pinched Shi Nuan’s thin arms. “Of course I can’t share your food. You are eating for three people, understand?”

“But I can’t always eat so much. I can’t even move now!”

“Alright, I’ll help you up. Let’s go and have a little stroll outside. It will help the food in your stomach get going.” Fu Chengyan beckoned the waiter to bring the bill. After paying for their meal, the couple left the restaurant.

There was a river near the Cantonese restaurant and it was quite scenic at night. However, the sun had yet to set. It was only a little past six o’clock.

Fu Chengyan’s had one arm around Shi Nuan’s waist and another under her arm. It made her look like a granny with arthritis. “Yan, I need to sit down for a while.”

Fu Chengyan slowed down his pace and tilted his head to look at Shi Nuan.
